Ely Museum

Excellent customer service. Went here for some history advice on some old papers I found /documents on construction building work that goes back from the 1800s. Ely Museum was very helpful. Thankyou to them.

A very well designed little museum. It’s not very big! I recon an hour at most can be spent here. No on site parking

Excellent town museum with fascinating stories and artefacts - well worth the visit!

Really interesting museum and tells you about the life of Ely from pre historic times to present days. Impressed with this museum got a fresh look , clean and super tidy. The staff are very friendly and offer great customer service. So glad to have enter this museum free with my son. We had a great time knowing more about the life in Ely. Definitely well recommend for friends who will visit Ely in the future.

Lovely little museum in the old gaol, still with some of the gaol doors, woodwork and windows. The entry cost allows for you to go back as often as you like for a whole year. Apparently the displays are changed from time to time.

I do enjoy Ely museum, its well laid out and all exhibits are explained in a way that the whole family can understand them, also some low down gems for the little kids, (and bigger grown up kids too, I never say no to bending low to see what they see!)A little expensive for what's there, however, they do give you a year ticket for the price, so really as long as you go more than once, it makes it worth it.

Great museum. Yearly entry for a one off fee, great value. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Absolute gem of a museum - really well refurbished to a high modern standard with simple but fun interactive elements for younger visitors (my two love the floor-level vignettes especially). Ticket price includes a whole year entry so is extremely good value. Toilets are always clean and available including baby changing. The toddler group on Fridays once a month (little explorers) is really fantastic.We always have a warm welcome and learn a little bit more about local history each time we visit - the old goal cell is fascinating, and the gold torc is stunning.Highly recommended for families looking for an activity for children of all ages including very young, and for all visitors to Ely who want to see more than just the cathedral.

Worth a visit to this excellent museum in the heart of Ely, Cambridgeshire, very modern inside and plenty of interest for young and old, Children under 5 free, over 5 it's £2 50 and adults £5.50 but you can use the ticket for a whole year from the date you enter, lift and disabled toilets on the ground floor, and toilets also found upstairs although not disabled. Two stair cases one with a rope handler or a more modern one found near the lifts. Disabled parking is limited in the road, although plenty of car parks nearby with disabled spaces. Museum shop also found in the museum. Open Tuesday to Saturday 10.30am to 5pm, Sunday 12 noon to 5pm.

This museum in Ely was well worth the visit.Lots to see, including information across many centuries such as the fens drainage, a Roman coffin, debtors prison and World War I stories.Interactive opportunities for younger visitors and friendly staff.
